Day 35, 27 June, Edwardsville to Altamont

Today was a great ride. Google maps put us on a trail and then on country roads, including a one-lane road, with almost no traffic for the first section. Later we rode US 40, which has relatively little traffic because it runs parallel to I-70. The roads were flat. Louis and I talked more today than any other day to date.

Thanks to Inge Herbeth and Reed, one of her workers, for hooking us up with a great camp site.

We rode 81.87 miles at an average speed of 12.7 mph. my maximum sped was 26.8 mph.
